Industrial Air Division Instruction book
This instruction book describes how to handle the machines to ensure safe operation, optimum efficiency and long service life.
Read this book before putting the machine into operation to ensure correct handling, operation and proper maintenance from the beginning.
The maintenance schedule comprises measures for keeping the machine in good condition.
Keep the book available for the operator and make sure that the machine is operated and that maintenance is carried out according to the
instructions. Record all operating data, maintenance performed, etc. in an operator's logbook available from Atlas Copco. Follow all relevant
safety precautions, including those mentioned on the cover of this book.
Repairs must be carried out by trained personnel from Atlas Copco who can be contacted for any further information.
In all correspondence always mention the type and the serial number, shown on the data plate.
For all data not mentioned in the text, see sections "Preventive maintenance schedule" and "Principal data".
The company reserves the right to make changes without prior notice.

Service contracts, relieving you of all preventive maintenance work. For more details, consult your nearest Atlas Copco representative.
The schedule comprises a summary of the maintenance instructions. Read the respective section before taking maintenance measures.
The "longer interval" checks must also include the "shorter interval" checks. When servicing, replace all disengaged packings, e.g.

The unloading and loading pressures are the opening and closing
pressures of the air pressure switch.
Adjustment can only be carried out when the air pressure switch
is pressurized. Remove blocking device (1-Fig. 15) before adjusting

The unloading pressure is controlled by adjusting knob (2). Turn

the knob clockwise to raise the unloading pressure, anti-clockwise to
